Right in the middle of Berlin lies one of the largest curiosities any European capital has to offer. That sounds like a bold claim – Europe’s capitals are, after all, full of fascinating history and culture. But I mean large in the most literal sense of the word: over 950 acres, to be precise.
The Tempelhofer Feld, a former airfield turned vast public park, is where Berliners from all walks of life and all ages come together.
Carefree children; young people full of hope and ideas for the future; and the elderly, who over the decades have watched Berlin transform from a divided city, scarred by its history, into a cosmopolitan, confident, and delightfully quirky place.
